I am getting a bit sick of this.
Scattered, disorganised, and out of date documentation
is, practically speaking, no documentation at all.
It is, at best, a sop to people's consciences.

I have a friend here.  I like Squeak.  He likes Python.
I've been programming a lot longer than he has, in a lot more
languages.  Guess who can get more done faster?

If it doesn't have a user interface, I can.  (Probably in Haskell.)

It it has a user interface, he can.
Because Python has documentation.  Documentation you don't
have to spend hours searching for on a net you may not be able to
access at the time.  Documentation that comes _with_ Python, it's
right there on the CD or in the .tgz file.  Documentation that
actually tells you everything you need to know to get up to speed.

The next time someone says "let's make a Swiki page to talk about
documentation" I'm going to vomit.

Then I'm going to borrow my friend's Core Python book.
